"Sat on them 22s, birds go for 22.
Lil mama super thin, she say she 22.
After 2 years, Les' record gonna be 2-22"
Only two thumbs up as of 4pm PT?! Have an up vote.
Criminally under-rec'd. I don't think enough people get the reference.
Everyday I’m hustlin’
Was going to upvote, but noticed that the post had 22 likes.
For Kansas this is a genius marketing move. Make the spring game an "event" and bring out a music "star" to come perform. It will drum up excitement for the coming Kansas football season which will translate to ticket sales (at least for the early games until they start losing). They are just building on top of the Les Miles hype.
Michigan wouldn't need this as year after year we sell out games without too much preseason hype from coaches / administration. Kansas on the other hand needs this. Fact that this "news" ends up on MGoBlog shows their marketing is working to a degree.
This move is done 100% by Les Miles. He is completely reinventing the football culture at Kansas. Kansas will be a National name in football.
and rick ross is....who?
(you can stay on the lawn. watch out for the meadow muffins though)
A rapper from Miami. Apparently used to traffic significant amounts of cocaine. He was also at one point a corrections officer. Which has drawn the ire of his peers in the past.
thank you. all i could think of was rick rude, who IIRC was a pro wrestler back in the day.
Ugh--Rick Ross never trafficked cocaine. He was a corrections officer who chose to use the name of Freeway Ricky Ross, who was a HUGE trafficker, a virtual kingpin, who supplied all of L.A. through a Nicaraguan exile who used his proceeds to fund the Contras. The real Freeway Rick is actually suing Rick Ross' fat, fake, untalented C.O. ass.
People are going to be pissed when they find out it's just Mark Mangino in blackface.
You can preorder Rick’s autobiography. Gonna be a good one
I'm sure it'll be riveting, but I'll pass all the same...
Good for Kansas. Anything to get buzz going.
Rick must have a career that is on fire if he is doing a spring game. Does he also do county fairs?
"He will do it"-First thing the agent for Rick Ross says when the phone rings.
Is he the guy who played a rapper in Pitch Perfect 3?
I thought Rick Ross was dead of a heart attack?
This won't get the upvotes it deserves.
They should have booked Metallica.
You’re right that would have been awesome in 1996.
The spring game is a big deal at KU. It's why Les will never go winless there.
Titty Man!
Is this the same as Rick Rolled? Asking for a friend...
This does not say good things about middle class America, or the U of Kansas. And I don't mean that in an old man 'to f*ck off my lawn' kinda way.
Who the hell is Rick Ross
Its like that scene in Drumline when Petey Pablo comes out and everyone just facepalms...
If you're a school that no one cares about, fine, get Rick Ross to show up to your practice.
Michigan is not Kansas. Don't know why this is a thread.
Don’t know why you continue to post.
It’s labeled OT.
All I'm saying is I'm not sure why a Michigan blog should care that a nobody college football program with no tradition whatsoever is paying a rapper to show up to their practice. That's all.
Frankly, the amount of attention given to spring games around here is pretty amazing in itself, but YMMV. They're practice.
Because it is April. Because it is a funny light-hearted discussion topic. Because of Les Miles.
I don't know about you, man.
The complete Rick Ross tour calendar for 2019 reads something like this:
4/13/2019 - Lawrence, Kansas
